schema:articleBody	The British government said Monday it was taking steps to "clarify" how Northern Ireland's trade will be handled after Brexit, but insisted it remained committed to its EU withdrawal agreement and the province's peace process. Britain cannot allow the peace process or its internal market "to inadvertently be compromised by unintended consequences" of the Brexit protocol relating to Northern Ireland, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's official spokesman said. "So we are taking limited and reasonable steps to clarify specific elements of the Northern Ireland Protocol in domestic law to remove any ambiguity and to ensure the government is always able to deliver on its commitments to the people of Northern Ireland," he told reporters. The comments came after the Financial Times reported that Johnson's government was planning new legislation that would override parts of the Withdrawal Agreement treaty that Britain and the EU agreed in October last year. Officials confirmed a bill governing Britain's internal market in trade would be submitted to parliament on Wednesday, But they portrayed the changes for Northern Ireland as technical. Under the protocol, Northern Ireland, which will have Britain's only land border with the EU, will follow some of the bloc's rules to ensure the frontier remains open. Eliminating border checks with the Republic of Ireland was a key part of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which ended 30 years of violence over British rule in the province. The proposed legislative changes will ensure goods coming from Northern Ireland to mainland Britain are not unnecessarily impeded, and clarify that the territory remains bound by EU rules on state aid, British officials said. A later bill will give British ministers power to intervene in case goods flowing from Britain to Northern Ireland are unfairly classed as "at risk" of entering the Irish Republic, and so the EU's single market. The changes are needed regardless of whether Britain and the EU clinch a free trade agreement by the end of the year, officials said. "We remain fully committed to implementing both the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol," the spokesman said. jit/phz/lc
